@@markharrison2544 According to a good bit of jews, they don't identity as white...only jewish. Maybe Eli was one of them lol. Does that make it better, no...but they are called actors. That means they're pretending. Tom Hanks isn't retarded, Denzel isn't blind, and Eli is Latino.
I am 65 years old and must have watched The good the bad the ugly, innumerable times. Tuco is amongst the best roles I have seen. Elderly screen writer in The holiday is another lovely character I love. You are a great actor sir. Salute.
To me, Tuco is the greatest character in the greatest movie of all time. RIP Eli Wallach, The Good The Bad and The Ugly is and always will be your Movie!!
I spent several hours with Eli in the early 70s. His acting genius and stardom notwithstanding, Eli is as classy and likeable a guy as you could find on earth. He gave me a great hug before we parted that night. I'll remember Eli until my own days come to a close.
That scene when he meets up with his brother who became a priest is a great scene, the other actor spoke no English so he did his lines in Italian and Eli did them in English.
Mr.Wallach was a very fine actor. Sergio Leone did an excellent job of using the closeup to take advantage of Mr. Wallachs ability to act with small facial moves that speak volumes. He was perfect for the part in TGTBATU.
He might not appreciate my feeling, but he will always be Tuco to me. Saw that movie in the drive in when I was around 7 or 8 years old. And man, did that make a life long impression on me. He literally made that character come alive with his acting skill. Just hearing his voice, make me think he is going to draw on me.
Just finishing watching the good the bad and the ugly on new year 2021 , just as exciting as I watch it the first time in the 70s .Eli is such a good actors , loved him in this movie
So true ! I agree when he said that in modern movies you hear the fu*** word every minute. He was an actor from another planet, thanks for your masterpieces.
He even got to play in a Bruce Lee movie that Lee wrote but sadly past away before it was made "The Silent Flute" aka Circle of Iron ! R.I.P. Eli Wallach ❤🙏
Eli in this discussion is fantastic l do like the fact when went back on time when he was a kid then when he explained in a such beautiful & simple way everything about theater , movies , tv it's practical moral in the society of its effects then explained the quality of the theater that is completely different because is live that the public is present & therefore the influence of its participation is all there then as he continuing his remarks are very interesting because his good sense of worth is always there I do like how he manage to show to the public the meaning of his perspective of his philosophy of life with responsibility of telling the truth as fit he is in my opinion a gentlemen .
Never in my wildest dreams i would have guesed he was an American born and bred. Truly a great actor Tuco. Generations to come will see a great a actor
Eli Wallach indeed was an extremely gifted performer. While Tuco is a better know character, his portrayal of Calvera in "The Magnificent Seven" was also riveting. As a member of one of the most amazing casts ever assembled which included Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn, Wallach dominates every scene he is a part of. He was a joy to watch.
@@KutWrite Amen, sir. The big ego sickness now infects most of the television industry. Charlie Rose and Nicholas Winding Refn are even worse than this man.
@@KutWrite Interesting point. I never followed Charlie Rose to begin with. I saw the so-called interview with Ralph Fiennes after Schindler’s List and gave Fiennes a ton of props for keeping it together.
Tuco Benedicto Pacífico Juan María Ramírez! A men whom you were able to listen too! You had a wonderfull wife, carrer and life! Tx for enjoying you Eli!
Ever notice most of the movies Clint has been in he never used the F word? Once in a while he'd let one fly but maybe Eli had a talk with him years ago and it rubbed off.
Talking about Tuco... Eli Wallach gave such an amazing acting, the movie was a success only (ONLY) because of him. The other "actors" did nothing, no acting. Eastwood says nothing and only shoots and/or chewing a cigar. Lee van cliff- OK, he does not need to talk, his facial physique does all the talking. But Eli Wallach- Amazing! He dominates the fun, the fear, the zest of Tuco. Some of his facial gestures will stay with ne forever.
"...today they use the F-word 16 times every 4 minutes on the screen..." "...today they don't stimulate very much..." yeah, Eli, there is something wrong with that! Good man! wise man, my man! ..and he knows how to tell stories...😂
Eli Wallach makes sense about the over use of sex and profanity in films and TV, but I disagree about actors using their fame to push their political opinions. There are actors I used to like that I can't stand anymore for that reason and avoid their movies.
